Mental Fortitude

It's not about being fearless, it's about learning how to control your fear.

— Alex Honnold

Why this matters:

It’s not about being fearless, it’s about learning how to control your fear. Fear is a biological signal that cannot be eliminated, but it can be ‘rationalized.’ By deconstructing a risk into manageable parts, we can perform at the highest level while the fear remains a background noise.
